Overview

• U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued a 14-day temporary restraining order blocking the federalization of 200 Oregon National Guard members for Portland through Oct. 18, and the administration has filed notice it will appeal.
• The judge said Oregon and Portland are likely to prove the president exceeded his authority, finding no “danger of a rebellion” and warning that the plan threatened state sovereignty.
• A Justice Department lawyer told the court the president’s determination relied chiefly on his Truth Social posts, which the ruling said were untethered to conditions on the ground.
• The White House announced authorization for 300 Illinois National Guard members to protect federal officers and assets in Chicago, drawing an objection from Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who described an ultimatum to “call up your troops, or we will.”
• DHS said Customs and Border Protection agents fired “defensive shots” at an armed woman after vehicles rammed and boxed in officers near a Chicago ICE site, and authorities said two people now face federal charges.
